Aug 07 2020 · Aluminate cement often refers to cement with calcium aluminate as the main component. Calcium aluminate cement is a basic binder for unshaped refractories especially castable refractories. It also has another name called high alumina cement. Its chemical composition is mainly Al2O3 and CaO and some also contain quite a lot of Fe2O3 and SIO2.
